Citrix Presentation Server and Word 2007 XML-format templates

[Peter Karlström]

I have previously posted this question but didn't get any resolution to our
problem, which is getting more and more urgent.

We have developed a COM-addin for Word 2007 which runs fine in an ordinary
â€fat†client.
The COM-Addin has also worked well in the customers Citrix Metaframe
Presentation Server environment, as long as Word was running in compatibility
mode.
Now, when they switched over to the new XML fileformat, we get strange
file-locks on the templates from which the documents are built.
If one logged in user creates a new document from a template, and another
user is opening another document based on the same template while the first
user have the document still open, the user which is trying to open a
document gets an error that the template is write-protected.
This does not happen when you do the same thing on an ordinary client.
The error occurs when we try to connect the opened document with the
template with the command docvar.AttachedTemplate = templatePath &
templateName, where docVar is a Word.Document variable, templatePath is the
path to the template and templateName is the template name, for instance
DocStandard.dotx.

Separate paths to templates for logged on user is not possible in this
environment.

What could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

I just want to share the solution for this error.
There is clearly something wrong with the Open XML-format templates when
they behave like this in a shared environment, but the solution is to mark
the templates as ReadOnly on file-level. This surpresses the message shown to
the users.
